Analysis of Total Commitment
Ebenezer Ayidana 1995 (Kumasi)
The fate of dreams coming alive
Is for the committed, the few brave
Wanting a monument for a grave
To this end, they will wholly dive
These three things endear you to fate
As they have for mighty men till date
Know your dreams and know why
Know storms are sure and are rife
Yet to say “this here is my life
This I must certainly do or I die!”
